Wakisa Ng\u2019ambi, Steven Mwase and Friday Mkandawire have all made it into the amateurs\u2019 category, whereas Secret Chirwa, Macdad Thipa will join seeded Malani Kayuni in the professional ranks.<\/p>\n
The amateur boxers received a pair of boxing shorts each.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, the Northern Region Boxing Committee (NRBC) Vice Chairperson, Happy Kumwenda, believes the boxers are capable of bringing honours from the national event.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe will have a strong representation\u2014no question about it. We have selected a team that is absolutely talented,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe best they can do is to start training now. Most boxers start preparations a week before going into the ring. And that is the reason why most boxers fail to impress in such tournaments.\u201d<\/p>\n
The bonanza was spiced up by a fight involving Lilongwe-based veteran boxer Philemon Nkhakamira Banda and Malani Kayuni.<\/p>\n
Kayuni won on points in the eight-round contest.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
